Answer:
1 rupee coins = 375 coins
50P coins = 600 coins
25P coins = 300 coins
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of coins = x
Since the ratio of number of coins is 5:8:4
hence the number of coins of 1 rupee, 50P, 25P will be 5x, 8x, 4x respectively.
Now,
Let the value of 1 rupee coins = 100P × 5x = 500x [as 1 rupee = 100 P]
then, value of 50P coins = 50P × 8x = 400x
and, the value of 25P coins = 25P × 4x = 100x
The sum of coins = 750 = 75000P
So,
500x + 400x + 100x = 75000
1000x = 75000
x = 75
So the number of
1 rupee coins = 5 × 75 = 375 coins
50P coins = 8 × 75 = 600 coins
25P coins = 4 × 75 = 300 coins
